A request for reduction of an IRS tax refund will be made only after the Board makes a determination that an amount is owed and past-due and provides the debtor with 60 days written notice. The Board's notice of intention to collect by IRS tax refund offset (Notice of intent) will state:
(a) The amount of the debt;
(b) That unless the debt is repaid within 60 days from the date of the Board's Notice of Intent, the Board intends to collect the debt by requesting that the IRS reduce any amount payable to the debtor as Federal Income tax refunds an amount equal to amount of the debt including all accumulated interest and other charges;
(c) That the debtor has the right to present evidence that all or part of the debt is not past-due or legally enforceable; and
(d) A mailing address for forwarding any written correspondence and a contact name and phone number for any questions.
